i've never said words
that meant so much
i've never so longed
for someone's touch.
i've never seen your eyes
but they see into my soul
and happen to surmise
the diamond lurking in the coal.
i've never been so scared
or exhilarated in my time
i never thought karma would be fair
and finally add reason to my rhyme.
and yet it's not just reason
not just a way to end
it's snow that's out of season
it's the unmailed letter you finally send.
your beauty speaks to me
from forever away
and i'm checking my calendar
and counting the days
until we're just us,
rough diamonds, just one
watching the sky
as it covers the sun.
Author notes
i love you. <3
